unbelievable...was very scared to make my first cheesecake for Thanksgiving, because I know how tempermental they can be...followed everyone's suggestions, and this recipe was outstanding!!!! Hit dessert of the evening...biggest things I learned from reading the reviews was room temp ingredients, didn't overmix, and added a pan of water on the lower shelf of the oven...only could leave it in the oven for a little over two hours, but didn't crack at all!!!!!

made these to eat during our "Royal Wedding" party...incredibly yummy...I did add more orange juice than it called for, just because I liked it a little softer and more cakey than the traditional scone, but that slight hint of tanginess of the oj combined with the chocolate chips...YUMMY!!
